Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.

People find life entirely too time-consuming.

Value your words. Each one may be the last.

The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.

Don't trust the heart, it wants your blood.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

The first requisite for immortality is death.

Telling lies does not work in advertising.

Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
